The amount of force is determined by the spring size. The catalog has listed the force per 1/10". How much does the slide way? 2X seems like alot of preload.

Im trying to find out the FORCE (LBS) / INCH on the dme spings.....or how to figure it out
I need two times the slide weight on preload...but I'm not sure how to figure that out, since there is no constant....

in my customer standards they say; spring preload force to greater then 2x slide weight.
and the slide weighs 70 lbs
I was looking at that row in chart, but i thought that the value would increase as the spring was being compressed.....
hmmmmmmmm
i guess not
I just took those values and figured the load for 50%, and got the same number as the book.....
as they say; you learn something new avery day.
How much are you traveling your slides?

Have you figured out the springs to use yet? Have you considered hydraulics? Also sometimes I use a combination of springs and plungers to hold the slides. Could that be an option for you?
it's all figured out...thanks
I'm a juniour here, so i never really had figure that out before, so i was little comfused....
thanks for the help all
